Belgian Philipsen wins second stage of Vuelta

The overall tour of Primoz Roglic was not endangered on the 166.7 kilometer stage. The Slovenian winner of the opening time is four seconds before the Spaniard Alex Aranburu and ten seconds in front of Matthews.

The Berlin Maximilian Schachmann lost the connection and time in a fall five kilometers before the target of the second stage. The German champion wants to go on stage hunt anyway at the Vuelta but can therefore pass the distance from almost three minutes to Roglic by the fall.

Already on Monday, the first mountain arrival is on the program. Santo Domingo de Silos is over 202.8 kilometers on the 1,485 meter high Picon Blanco. The Vuelta ends on 5 September with a single time trial in Santiago de Compostela. In the overall standings, a duel between defending champion Roglic and Colombia's Giro winner Egan Bernal is expected in the tours occupied with many top stars. Bernal also has the Olympic champion and Tour-Third Richard Carapaz from Ecuador in his team.
